[NOTICE] "New" WritingML Tags!

... Well, sorta new tags. Looking back, I see that we never announced a few very important WritingML tags set that were added to Writing.Com at least a few months back...
          PopNotes
          FootNotes
          Quotes

Here's the information on these tags directly from our WritingML Help window:

Writing.Com provides two systems for adding notations within writing:
         PopNotes and FootNotes.

The PopNote WritingML Tag:
The PopNote Tag consist of an opening tag and a closing tag. The opening tag contains the text displayed with a dotted underline, inviting a mouse over. The text "between" the opener and closer tags is pop'd within the note.
         {popnote:"TEXT"}Then your popnote goes here{/popnote}.

   Example: {popnote:"PopNotes"}PopNotes are {e:star} New {e:star}!{/popnote}.
      Yields: PopNotes

PopNotes are New !

The opening tag always uses quotes to enclose the "stuff". For example:
          {popnote:"correct"}something{/popnote} ... is right.
          {popnote:wrong}something{/popnote} ... is wrong.

The FootNote WritingML Tag:
The FootNote tag consists of an opening and closing tag:
         {footnote:TYPE}Then your footnote goes here{/footnote}.
TYPE can be any of the following:
# or 1 - will produce numerical footnotes; you can only use the # or 1 to indicate to the system
to use number - 2, 3, 4 etc won't work.
a or A - will produce lettered footnotes; these will go from a to z (or A to Z) and then aa-zz
(or AA-ZZ) Using "a" will produce lowercased lettered footnotes, "A" will produce capital letters.

The system automatically increments the footnote count, so you would only use "1" or "a" and it will decide which number or letter to show.

   Example: Footnotes add notes. {footnote:#}Notes like this.{/footnote}
      Yields: Footnotes add notes. 1

   Example: This is a 2nd footnote. {footnote:#}This footnote is 2nd.{/footnote}
      Yields: This is a 2nd footnote. 2

   Example: This is an alpha footnote. {footnote:A}This is "A".{/footnote}
      Yields: This is an alpha footnote. A

The Quote WritingML Tag:
The Quote tag consists of an opening and closing tag:
         {quote}Then your quote goes here{/quote}.

The system automatically indents all of the enclosed text like this example:

This is an example quote. It is indented automatically, even through line breaks.
This is an example quote. It is indented automatically, even through line breaks.
This is an example quote. It is indented automatically, even through line breaks.

Enjoy!
